Alumni Stars on the Rise
Lisa Guerrero – Former AFC Director – Some of the AFC Alumni from 89-90 were able to meet Lisa for dinner. It was great seeing her and catching up. Also, some of the AFC Alumni and current AFC were able to support her Atlanta movie premiere for “A Plumm Summer”. It’s playing for a limited time at the Roswell Startime Movie Theatre and is a wonderful movie for the family. Here’s a group shot of us at dinner.


Angela Mitchell – Congratulations to Angela! She’s very excited to announce she’ll be appearing in a recurring role (3 episodes) in a new Sitcom scheduled to air this coming fall on BET called "Somebodies". Her character is a bubbly, naive, Boys Club Volunteer who quickly becomes the object of the staff & kids affection by advertising her "assets”. She gets to wear some pretty funny enhancements and outfits. Here are 2 links with more information: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18183289/ &

Carole Wolter Wood – Kudos to Carole for her role as Tipper Gore in the HBO movie Recount! Recount is a chronicle of the weeks after the 2000 U.S. presidential election and the subsequent recounts in Florida. I saw the movie recently on HBO and Carole looked great.

Offer to the AFC Alumni and new AlumniCheerleaders.com members only – I will email all AFC Alumni a complimentary hotel only voucher for 3 days, 2 nights (19 destinations) There is no catch, gimmicks, or timeshare presentations for the accommodations (only 1 offer per household). The company that provided me these vacation certificates is an active and proud member of the Better Business Bureau. It’s your option to use for yourself or pass on to other family or friends. Some Alumni have already redeemed theirs and making plans for future vacations.

For those AFC Alumni who can participate, I would like your help please with an email campaign to increase membership with AlumniCheerleaders.com. I’m offering a voucher that includes airfare and 3 days, 2 night hotel accommodations. It works like a buddy pass and you’re only paying the taxes. Below are the details and simple instructions. Thank you for your help and support.
